MATOS, Roberto Pires Calazans. Elements to understand attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: ADHD. Estilos clin. [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.2, pp. 342-357. ISSN 1415-7128.

This article presents some elements that can allow us to better understand the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The first element is to determine which function is disturbed - consciousness - and its classic semiology; the second element is to point out a naturalist ideology that supports the diagnosis in terms of disorder; the third is the manner how psychoanalysis sees consciousness; and the fourth presents a brief consideration of how the inhibition in Freud and Lacan can help us to understand this disorder.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; inhibition; ADHD; subject.
